Every Beatle's song in 13 mins (that they wrote)

One of the lesser-known Lennon-McCartney Beatles songs is missing from this fantastic collection.

They recorded "I'll be On My Way" for a BBC radio session in 1963, and gave the song to Billy J Kramer. The Beatles never subsequently recorded it in Abbey Road studios for any album or single. Almost thirty years later it was released for the first time on one of those "Beatles at the BBC" type compilations.

The song was NOT forgotten. Long after The Beatles split, John was describing how they wrote most of their songs separately. Guess which song he chose to illustrate Paul's works?  Why, it was "I'll Be On My Way".

Just had a listen, Alun, I honestly don't remember that, even by Billy. They also gave him the excellent "Bad To Me", plus others.
Never knew till today, they covered an Everley's song.

They really were beyond superb. Even getting over 100 millions of views today for this one.

yes ken,we will never see their likes again, btw was said yesterday on Pointless that the Beatles recorded " Hippy Hippy Shake by the Swinging Blue jeans, is that right? I would say not.

This lot had a go at mentioning a few Beatles Titles:

good song if its Mr.james Harvest from "75?

Well spotted Mr Mcc!

very clever it was ,just called "titles" if my memory serves me well?

Correct!

just watched on youtube,yer man looks a bit like george

Had never heard that before Alun.
Certainly of the times but not a typical Beatles number.
More the type of thing Freddie and the Dreamers would do.

Just had another listen. Awesome.

I still know them all. :-)

Absolutely incredible. There aren't enough superlatives.
Me and my mate, (my son plays instead these days) have played about 90% at parties, gigs, busking or just for fun.

I know it wasn't a real song, but I didn't notice "Her Majesty" there - actually it would have been at the end, which would have spoiled it a bit.

Glad you enjoyed it, STUDY.

Here, there and everywhere seems to be missing, too.

I think it was there Kenny - The intro:
To lead a better life
I need my love to be here

I didn't notice Octopus's Garden though.

There weren't any of the ones they wrote for others, like:
Mary Hopkin, Cilla Black, Badfinger, Peter & Gordon and so on.

There aren't enough words - I can't see how the sheer variety can be approached.
Maybe Queen got 10% of the way there.

The author gave this reason for leaving Her Majesty out.


"Yeah, I missed that on purpose... I heard it's a Paul Mac solo track without the others knowing or caring... imagine including Imagine? or Band on the Run? or Isn't it  Pity? etc.."

He's right imo some of Wings stuff was astounding. Dozens of them, Mamunia suddenly sprang to mind.

Loved them at 15, still loving them at pushing 53 years later

Macca's still touring and getting cute girls coming up on stage, wanting their bodies autographing. He even let this young girl play bass with him.

I lived for 5 years about 1/4 of a mile from his house.
A not very special council house in a back street in Allerton.

There's a blue plaque on the wall.

Coaches drive past it full of tourists taking photos.

My personal feeling is (and I might well be wrong) that they weren't especially nice blokes.
The music and the chemistry though.... unsurpassable.

As a little kid in the late 60's, I was quite into current music and my aunt (only 8 years older than me) bought all their records when they came out. I then inherited them as she got whatever "this week's top hits" were.

A bit scratched now, my son still has them.

Interesting STUDY'.

Question for you.

John and Paul wrote just the one song each with exactly the same title. So that's 2 songs in total.

Name the title. :-)

Sorry, only just looked at this.

I don't know, I'm guessing a simple title.
Imagine? or Yesterday?
